Does nimodipine affect blood pressure and heart rate in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Nimodipine therapy in subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with mild, reversible blood pressure decreases, particularly in hypertensive patients or at higher initial doses, while observed ECG abnormalities likely reflect the underlying disease.
Tettenborn et al. (1985) studied this question.
